“Hello! I’m Julia Scala, the owner and director of Growing Minds Child Care Center LLC. Before jumping into child care, I spent several years teaching elementary school in local districts. I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching and have a background in child development and psychology. I’m so excited to apply my knowledge and open a childcare center of my own! My passion has always been working with children, and I’m thrilled to bring Growing Minds to the Millville community!”

"Hi! My name is Noelle. I am an experienced infant teacher with a little over 8 years of experience  & some babysitting years as well from high school. I also have an additional 3.5 years of experience as a Pediatric Medical Assistant. My background has given me a strong understanding of children’s developmental, emotional, and medical needs, as well as the patience, compassion, and dedication it takes to care for little ones.
Working with infants has always been a true passion of mine. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable as themselves. After spending time in pediatric healthcare, I am so excited to return to childcare and get back to doing what I truly love working with children, and being a positive part of their early years.
I look forward to bringing my experience, and passion for early childhood education to a new classroom and becoming a valued part of the team."
Favorite quote: “In a world where you can be anything, be kind”

I have 9 years of experience working in early childhood education, and I truly love being part of such an important stage in a child’s life. I believe the early years are the foundation for a child’s future, and I feel it is so important for children to learn in an environment where they feel safe, loved, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Outside of the classroom, I am happily married and a proud mom to my two-year-old son. Being a mom has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust families place in their children’s teachers. I understand how important it is to know that your child is cared for, understood, and celebrated each day. I hope to create a classroom where children feel confident exploring, asking questions, making mistakes, and discovering the joy of learning. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to watch children grow, learn, and reach new milestones every day!
